NewzMaría Jesús San José, the Basque Minister of Justice and Human Rights, has defended the legal standing of prison grade progressions and sentence flexibilities granted to ETA prisoners. Addressing the controversy surrounding these measures, the minister stated that while she wishes the pain of the victims could be avoided, the government cannot bypass the law to do so.
The minister’s comments specifically address the application of Article 100.2 of the penitentiary regulations, which allows for the modification of prison regimes. San José maintains that these decisions are made in accordance with established legal frameworks, emphasizing that the administration must adhere to current statutes when managing the sentences of those convicted for ETA-related crimes.
